We train all of our Mtn Peak athletes in-house through our program MP Power & Agility, located on our mezzanine. Keeping the training in-house will allow us to better work with our athletes' busy schedules, focus our training on volleyball-specific workouts, and provide training to more of our teams and athletes.
Many teams will have some trainings included during part of their club season. All athletes will have the option to add-on training sessions throughout the club season as well as during the summer and fall. Our objective with MP Power & Agility is to accelerate an athlete's progression in volleyball by focusing on power, agility, speed, and injury prevention.
During the summer months, we offer a 6-week Power & Agility program. This program is limited to 8 athletes per session to ensure focus on each athlete's technique and progression throughout the program. Girls and boys in 9th-12th grade are invited to participate. The program will start the week of June 14 and end the week of July 31. Due to busy summer schedules, we have allocated an extra week during this time that athletes are able to miss and still complete the 6-week program. Trainings will be three times per week and the program fee is $165/athlete.
Other programs offered are the Vertical Flight Program and Personal Training. For information of these programs, contact Trainer Mike Tupola at mike@mtnpeakvolleyball.com.
